Reasons to Choose Invisalign Treatment
The look and feel of metal braces have discouraged many people in the past from seeking orthodontic treatment. Nowadays, when it comes to getting perfectly straight teeth, traditional braces are no longer your only option.
Braces use brackets connected to one another by wires. Every month, an orthodontist will tighten these wires to bring your teeth in the right direction and make them straight. This appliance comes with certain dietary restrictions due to its fragile nature, which means you won’t be able to enjoy certain treats for a couple of years.
While braces are still being used to fix smiles, Invisalign offers the same results with much less hassle and pain. The clear aligners are the perfect alternative to braces, especially if you think you’d feel self-conscious with wires and brackets.
Maintain Good Oral Health
Since Invisalign trays are removable, you can maintain your oral hygiene routine without needing to make any changes.
With braces, food tends to get stuck in hard-to-reach places, and neglecting to thoroughly clean your teeth can lead to cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Just as you would without Invisaligns, brush and floss your teeth twice a day, making sure to also regularly clean the aligner trays as well.
Virtually Invisible
One of the major reasons people have been choosing the Invisalign treatment over braces is because the appliance is made out of clear plastic, which makes them appear practically non-existent.
This feature is especially great for young professionals and adults who don’t want to worry about their appearance in social situations and throughout the workday.
Continue Eating Your Favourite Foods
One of the first things an orthodontist tells their patient after they get their braces put on is not to eat certain foods or chew gum to not damage the wires or brackets.
There are no dietary restrictions for people who wear Invisalign because the aligner can be removed. Whenever you want to eat, simply remove your aligner and enjoy your meal, but be sure to brush your teeth before putting them back on.
Fewer Trips to the Orthodontist
Braces require patients to visit their orthodontist nearly once every month to have their wires tightened.
If you opt for an Invisalign treatment, your orthodontist will set out a predicted timeline and provide you with a series of custom-made aligners that need to be swapped out every 2-3 weeks.
Of course, Invisalign patients will still have routine orthodontist appointments to monitor how things are going, though they won’t occur as often as tightening appointments for braces.
